The Indie headline about Amber Rudd potentially going to jail is sensationalist nonsense. Although a Minister can be held in contempt of court, there is no power to commit her to prison. If I were the author, I would be pretty angry about the editors using such a misleading headline.

I know Legal Cheek is just repeating the headline but a legal blog site ought to be a little bit better than just repeating a misleading headline.

Elements of the Charlie Alliston case was confusing.
Did the victim step out into the road and into his path without looking, or not?
Was she looking down at her mobile when she did so, or not (there are mixed reports of there being witnesses who say she did, but also Alliston making a false claim in court that she was)?
Did he have any ability to slow down? I keep reading he had no ability to slow because of the type of his bike, then also read he slowed from 18mph to 14mph back pedalling or something which is the bike’s ability to slow (not as sharply as brakes).

apparently the guy was riding a specialist bike (capable of reaching top speeds), with no brakes because they had not been fitted yet. essentially, a partially built bike……………….what an idiotic thing to do

With a fixed gear bike there is no freewheel so you slow down by pedalling more slowly. It takes some skill and isn’t as effective in an emergency because the front wheel has more braking power if you are braking hard
